All I was trying to say is that I am curious of the logic of offering 3.90s for the Firebird but the GTO relied solely on 4.33s.

I wasn't trying to say it never happened, I just personally haven't ran across any and I have been chasing these ra birds for a long time.

If you had that in Columbus, IN (hate to think there are two RA I survivors, but anything is possible) then I've seen it and it's awesome. Not that often you see a RA I, let alone a survivor.



I have the heads, intake and distr from a RA I, that was in a red 68 GTO. Pretty sure it was a 4sp. The block went out west somewhere, iirc. Unfortunately I don't have a VIN.

Thanks, I am glad to have been lucky enough to be able to acquire it. I did take it to the show in Columbus.
